The chair umpire called a hurdle against the Serb after shouting too long in a rally against Jannik Sinner.
Novak Djokovic managed to enter the Wimbledon final after defeating Italian Jannik Sinner 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(4) in the semi-final of the Grand Slam which is played on grass.
Of course, in the second set there was a particular situation which ended up affecting the Serb. In the one-point dispute, Sinner fired back at the Balkan left-back, who ended up giving a prolonged shout .
After that, the chair umpire stopped the action to recover obstacle . What is this? The penalty “obstacle”, in Spanish, is due to the players not being able to perform any type of action that could mislead or harm their rival. In this case it was a cry .
The situation is so rare that even the journalists of the official transmission were surprised by the accusation. “I’ve never seen that,” they said.
It should be noted that in singles matches talking is not allowed during points and a shout, even involuntary, can be considered by the referee as something that interferes with the opponent’s play. . This situation also occurs in duplicate, but with a caveat. There, teammates are allowed to talk as long as the ball is going towards them.
